Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE:SSNI) today congratulated Ofcom for
its amendments to the UK's Wireless Telegraphy Act, which will allow for
commercial operations at 870 to 876 MHz on a license exempt basis and go
into effect on June 27, 2014. The decision from Ofcom, the independent
regulator and competition authority for the UK communications
industries, opens the frequency bands for new machine-to-machine (M2M)
and Internet of Things applications that unlock greater economic and
societal opportunities in the UK. License-exempt spectrum eliminates the
prohibitively high costs of existing exclusionary solutions and ensures
that high-performing, dedicated, and secure Internet of Things networks
can be quickly deployed for the benefit of all UK citizens.

Countries around the world have prioritized the deployment of smart
digital infrastructure as a means to improve quality of life and
competitiveness, but many have found the lack of effective networking
technologies a barrier to implementation. Ofcom's move to adopt the new
European framework will afford participants in the UK the same resources
as the US, Canada, and most other industrial nations that allow the
leveraging of license-exempt spectrum to benefit citizens through lower
costs and improved system performance.

Working with some of the world's leading smart energy and smart city
programmes, Silver Spring Networks has already connected more than 18.5
million critical infrastructure devices such as smart energy meters,
smart thermostats, renewable energy generators, networked street lights,
and traffic control systems.

"We applaud the release of this spectrum by Ofcom which will help
accelerate social and economic benefits for UK citizens and helps to
provide a basis for Internet of Things applications such as energy
resource management, smart energy and smart water, adaptive street
lighting, environmental sensors, and intelligent transport networks that
help modernize the UK's essential citizen services," said Mark Coyle,
Managing Director for the UK & Ireland, Silver Spring Networks. "These
types of machine-to-machine networks give the UK an opportunity to
establish a technology foundation for its ongoing environmental
sustainability, energy efficiency, and smart city leadership."

"We are xcited to continue working with a range of cities, energy
companies, and our broad ecosystem to modernize the UK's critical
infrastructure and bring the benefits of the Internet of Things to meet
the needs of our existing and future customers," Mr. Coyle continued.

Earlier this year the CEPT, the organization that represents the
national regulatory authorities for 48 European countries, published
a framework for license-exempt spectrum availability for a variety
of machine-to-machine, smart grid, and smart city wireless networks,
among others. The UK is the first individual member state to publish
updated regulations allowing license exempt spectrum for broad
commercial use for these networks under the CEPT's new framework.
